Premier League Squad Values 2025/26 Ranked – Ranked
The Premier League is the richest football competition in the world, and the 2025/26 squad valuations show just how much money shapes the game today.

20. Burnley – £196 million
Burnley sit rock-bottom with a squad worth just £196m. Despite breaking their transfer record for Lesley Ugochukwu, many expect them to struggle against far wealthier opponents.
19. Sunderland – £252 million
Back in the Premier League via the play-offs, Sunderland’s £252m squad looks fragile compared to the giants above them. Even marquee signings like Granit Xhaka might not be enough for survival.
18. Leeds United – £257 million
Leeds return to the top flight with a £257m valuation. While fans are optimistic, the club’s resources pale in comparison to established Premier League teams.
